id say you floss before. cause then you can brush away all that stuff that you flossed outI never learned the exact science of flossing. do you floss BEFORE or AFTER your brush your teeth?
I don't know what you're supposed to do, but I floss after then I swish with Listerine. I try to get most of it first with the brush so the floss doesn't get so gross.





Edit: This article says it's debatable by dentists and there is no consensus. You aren't supposed to brush then floss then brush again however, because it's bad for your gums. The article also says it depends on the way you brush; back and forth or up and down. Here is a link to the article.

You floss BEFORE you brush, that opens the gaps a little and opens your gums a little, which is good. Then spend a good while brushing, then rinse with mouth was.
Before - so you can dislodge stuff that can then be removed by brushing.
Good question. I always floss before. That way I can brush away any loosened stuff and wash it down the sink after.
No, after. It helps get all the food between your teeth that brushing left behind.
AFTER! :)
i think after to get any left over stuff.
before, you want to get all that yucky stuff out of your mouth.
well my moms a dentist and at the office they do it before
